My favorite is science. You get to learn new things in this class. When we have science, we get to do experiments. The experiments we have had included building cars out of K’nex. We also have had many more experiments. My favorite experiment was when we got to build cars out of K’nex. We got to race them on a blacktop hill. We built the cars as a group. My group’s car got first a few times. Another one of my favorite experiments was when we made changes to our car and put rubber bands on it to make it go. We made ours go by tying one rubber band on the back and one on the front. Then we tied them together in the middle. The teacher pulled our car back and it zoomed across the room! 0ur class was learning about how if cars are designed aerodynamic, they go faster. The car my group had must have been pretty aerodynamic because our car went very fast. In fact I think our group won! One of the races we won was when we saw how far we could get our car to go. The other one was when we tried to make it stay in bounds. The science people that give us kits gave us a new kit recently. It is on magnetism and electricity. My favorite experiment in that kit was probably when we made electromagnets. We wrapped a cord around a rivet and made electricity flow through it. When electricity flowed through it, the rivet became a magnet. We picked up as many small washers as possible. We increased the number of winds each time we did it. We went all the way up to 50!

I love math! Math is also a phenomenal thing to learn because you have to use math a lot in life like adding up money to see if you have enough for something. I Math to me is really cool and is very entertaining, exciting, and I learn a lot like my times table, fractions, equations, division, and a whole lot more. Right now we are learning probability. We also do this thing called Mega Math. Mega Math is a test and we have one minute to do the 40 multiplication problems. In the second minute, we had to try and do all the rest of the problems with red pens. Then we check our problems and graph. In the mornings, we do warm up, that is a math worksheet we do.

My favorite subject is science because once, we were able to break a fake rock made of alum, kosher salt, flour, red and green gravel, tiny shells, and sand. We broke them by using a screws on a paper plate. It was awesome! Every awesome science day, I FREAK out! Once, we licked a mineral and it tasted like salt. It was cool and weird, but I loved it! T.

My favorite class is math. I pick math because it is really interesting. Mrs. Strawn is also really funny and we always do really fun stuff. Like one time we were learning about angles and we got to make the angles with marshmallows and pretzels! One thing we are learning in math is probability which means impossible, unlikely, likely, and certain. One more thing we are learning is multiplication. We are on x12.

My favorite class is reading. Reading is super duper amazing. At reading class we work on sweet papers. Our reading is super cool! When I finish my work, I can read. I love reading because it’s so exciting reading stories that we read together! Sometimes we read in partners and it is so awesome! Sam Vogel West Terrace Grade 3

Math class rocks! It is the best class ever! My teacher is Mrs. Bennett. She is as cool as Michael Jackson. You can learn all kinds of cool stuff that you can use for the rest of your life. Now we are learning multiplication and division. Math is my favorite subject. Sarah Wiederkehr Oak Hill Elementary Grade 3

My Favorite Class By: Liam Babb Cynthia Heights 3rd grade Finally, the last marks on my last project of the year. Yes! Iâm finished it. It is spectacular! Art is my favorite class ever! I love art because I can be creative in any way I want. I can do basically anything I want to do. My favorite thing to do in art is free draw because we could do anything we can do anything we want when we are drawing. My favorite project is when we had our backyard drawing and when I made it into the art show. I also like art because I can express myself in my own ways and can show my personality. I donât know what I would do without art. Two of my inspirations in art are Jeff Kinny and Dave Plikey. I donât know why but their work speaks to me and their illustrations are awesome, interesting, and spectacular. I wish that I could be as great as them one day. Those are the reasons why my heart beats for art.

My Favorite Class By: Zoey Gates Cynthia Heights 3rd grade âWoohoo!â” I say as I walk down the hallway. I am so excited because today isâ..ART! Art is my absolute favorite class in the whole school! Art is my favorite because I think I am a pretty good artist. I know this because people compliment my artwork in the hallway. When I am bored at home I either make my own artwork or I color on a coloring page. In art class, we do a lot of fun things, like art projects, using play dough, and free draw! In fact, coming up we are going to learn how to weave! My art teacherâs name is Mrs. Tembarge. In art class there are six tables and at every table there are six seats. I sit at table four with Kaleigh, Jalen, Garret, and Brayden, and then theirs me of course. When I am at home and my brothers get me all worked up art ALWAYS calms me down. It doesnât matter what I draw, it still calms me down. I like to draw a lot of things, but my most favorite thing to draw is mustaches, any kind of mustache. I also like peanut butter but thatâs a different story. When I grow up I want to be a famous artist that travels all around the world, giving art lessons, speeches, and meeting all of my fans! Your future artist, Zoey Gates

Math Kaleigh Meritt Cynthia Heights 3rd grade Flash masters, games, multiplying, so much fun! We do so many different activities. One of my favorite things to do in math class is multiplication facts. I like doing multiplication because I learn new facts every day. I also love doing flash masters too. They are little computers that pop up multiplication fact. Our teacher always has something new planned for us and it is very fun and exciting. I picked this subject because I learn something new every day. We are learning geometry right now and it is really, really fun. We play all kinds of games and learn songs to memorize the shapes. We do a lot of fun things that make us learn every day. I also have very good friends in my class. One of the games we do to learn is musical shapes. We walk around our table and sit down when the teacher stops the music. When we sit down, there is a shapes name and we have to make the 3D shape out of toothpicks and marshmallows. Thatâs why I like math so much.

Math Class Cooper Ashby Cynthia Heights 3rd grade Ding, Ding, Ding! The bell rings and the timed quiz is over. I love math because we do timed quizzes which is when you have to do multiplication for a minute, 45 seconds, or 30 seconds. I like math because you learn multiplication and division. I like learning because you do it with snacks usually. After you are doing you can eat them. I like doing geometry too because you learn about 3 dimensional shapes like how many vertices, edges, and faces. I like Moby math too because you can do fun math games. We learned about line segments too. I can tell you about what line segments are as well as right triangles, acute and obtuse angles. I like flash masters a little but not that much because they are little electronics that can do additions, subtraction, division, and multiplication. There are levels one through nine and the highest level that I have ever done is level seven. I will always love math class.

Yay, itâs time for MATH CLASS, my favorite class in school! I like math minute the best because it is where you get a journal and you do 10 problems in a minute, and then we check it. It is fun. I also like to learn about fractions. I love fractions and multiplication. I also like division because addition and subtraction are too easy. We do fun activities in math class when we are learning about 3D shapes. Every day I look forward to going to math class. An activity that we have done in math class is with pretzels and marshmallows and we made shapes with them. We made shapes like rectangles, squares, triangles, acute triangles, obtuse triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, and right triangles. We did this because we wanted to know how many vertices there are, how many edges there are on the shapes. Math Class Alex Hartmann Cynthia Heights, Third grade
